Hello People .
I'm really in need of your help about my what to do about my current system,
2-3 years ago i bought this system ( https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ktKtjc ) and i was on budget really for my needs at that time when i bought it, i just got 8 GB of ram as minimum in the past i never had issues with it but atm i'm in need of more ram for example 16 GB minimum for my current needs and work but the problem is that this exact ram sticks is not available anymore in my country and if i bought it online it will cost me a lot more than it should be even more than most current DDR4 , some people have told me to add another 8gb but different specs for example mine is 2400 1.65v CL11 and add new one 1600 C9 1.5v i'm not sure if this will cause any problems or its even logical to happen :D but i'm not comfortable with this mix.

so i was thinking about selling CPU+motherboard+Ram that i currently have and buy new cpu motherboard ram that is DDR4 " More availability at market right now ) with 16 or 32 GB of ram tho it will be future proof but at the same time i wont be happy with selling the current system and its still solid and working fine tho didn't OC yet tho , but i'm still in need of more ram importantly for example when i open " Chrome + 1 game exactly ) i find my ram usage is 90-95% and PC starts freezing because of ram lacking

So i'd like to see your suggestions about what to do please :) thanks

Mixing RAM might work sometimes, but most often its just better to get the same type.
And 16GB RAM should be more than enough RAM.

If ur system is working good for your use besides the RAM, I would just get new RAM 16GB instead of swapping motherboard and CPU
